What’s up everyone? Well the weather has been great all week here in San Jose it’s eighty degrees and not a cloud in the sky. I have been spending a lot of time by the pool this week. Anyone see the MD vs Virginia lacrosse game that went into seven OT’s!? That was crazy!

Salisbury had their streak ended the other day by Gettysburg 11-10. That’s the first loss since the 2006 title game. I’m sure coach Berkman is getting the team ready for what is becoming quite the rivalry game against Stevenson who is now the #1 team in the country. I’m confident the boys will battle back this weekend and reclaim that #1 spot and make it to Foxborough in May.

Well are double-header weekend went pretty good. We lost on Saturday and won on Sunday. Going into the Double-header weekend we figured we needed to win one game to have a chance for a playoff spot. We were beating the Portland LumberJax by six goals last Saturday, and then after a couple of stealth penalties the LumberJax scored seven of the last eight goals to win the game. This changed the teams mindset going into Portland the next day.

On Sunday we went into Portland with our backs against the wall, if we lose, the playoffs are out of reach, but if we win we still are alive in the playoff hunt. We now sit a half of a game behind our western rival the Minnesota Swarm. We play the Minnesota Swarm this Friday for the number four spot in the west and a playoff spot. It will be quite the game to watch because whatever team loses drops a spot and gets further behind in the playoff race. The top four teams from each the western and eastern conference gets a playoff spot.
